| Subject: | Re: Need help & consuling on Rivet puller |
A big thank you to all who responded to my call for help.
Yesterday evening I was able to find, and correct the problem with my rivet gun.
As was mentioned in a previous response, the defect was with the large O-ring
on the piston at the top of the handle. it has an O-ring at the rear to seal
the oil, and both guns had O-rings that were dried out and hardened.
This is why the gun was quitting after a dozen or so rivets, because the oil was
leaking pass the O-ring into the stem catcher. Now it is working great, with
no oil leaks.
There was however one casualty in all this and that is my second gun. While I
was rebuilding the first one on the bench I casually pulled the trigger to check
how far back the piston was pulling, and when it evacuated the air from the
lower canister, it blow the spring from my second gun off the bench, and was
never to be seen again.
